Raffles Maldives Meradhoo
True elegance and pure nature – experience two beautiful worlds in one.
Our second time to the resort this year exceeded our expectations once again.
We've never been to a place on vacation where we are treated so special as we are at Raffles Maldives. I mean, where else can you go and have the bartender waiting on us at the arrival and making our special drinks! The staff at Raffles is what makes the resort and is the reason we came back a second time and already have a third trip booked. Yoges makes us feel like family and that same feeling seems to be filtered down to the staff. Asif always makes sure we get what we want for our meals as we are both kind of picky eaters and it has been nice getting to know him more on a personal level. Madura is the man, nothing else needs to be said! He makes the best drinks and is a lot of fun to be around. Natuu is a legend and it is truly amazing to see the attention to detail he gives us. I could keep writing for hours about the other members of the staff. They are all amazing and I think this is another indication of how well Yoges runs the resort.

Unforgettable Experience
Amazing, beautiful, a getaway I will never forget. The staff were very kind and so helpful went out of their way to make sure our stay was very comfortable. The staff went above and beyond for my birthday experience. The food at each venue was tasty and different which was great to see a selection of local produce and so many options for a remote island. The snorkelling experience was out of this world the variety of fish, turtles and reef sharks was very special to see. The goodbye was very emotional for me as I didn't want to leave the island and the local people who worked on island. Highly recommend the villas for a couple's getaway that will be hard to forget.
Exquisite
Very friendly staff and luxurious experiences, also The resort offers stunning overwater villas, white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush tropical all around the island
This is not just a resort but a bespoke experience
Well where to start…… We came to the island for our first Maldives vacation with our 2 kids- full of expectations and it absolutely didn’t disappoint! The management and staff took great care and made us feel special. The island is small, beautiful and extremely lush. We experienced both the beach villa and the overwater villa. We loved the layout of the villa especially the bathrooms which are humongous. We never saw the housekeeping team as they always made the room whenever we were out. Like magic they always were in and out and the mess left behind by the kids was all cleaned up. Our butler Adi took really great care. Nothing was too much. All of our requests were taken care with a smile be it snorkelling with us(that too holding our hands as it was our first time) or showing us around the Royal residence or arranging some special dietary requests. Thanks so much Adi and please know that the kids miss you very much. Regarding the food - though there are only 3 restaurants Thari, Yuzu and Firepit we were never short of choices. Half of our party was vegetarian and on the first night when the F&B manager noticed that we didn’t have too much variety in vegetarian food he himself took the initiative of having the chef at Yuzu prepare an entire spread next day just for us. We absolutely loved the gesture . Not only that on our last night for dinner they surprised us with special table and Thali dinner for us . All the servers were very attentive and made our meals really enjoyable. Thanks to Abdulla, Ibaash, Puri, Nilam, Asif. We also got to enjoy the couple spa session with Eka and Sanek. They were so amazing that I drifted off most of the time I was with them. The snorkelling on the house reef is absolutely incredible and awe inspiring. Also there are all the water sports which frankly we didn’t get to try all So to conclude. This is everything y we hoped it to be and more. Beautiful island, bespoke 5star service, great food, great staff and a place to create memories. Not to forget the icing on the cake was the detour on the way to airport where we got to see a huge pod of dolphins. It’s etched in our hearts and every time we think about Raffles Maldives it brings along a smile and longing to go back to the great place. Thanks to Yoges (Resort manager), Imran, Lulu, Chef Shiva and Chef Akira and all the other people who work behind the scenes to make the stay memorable.
Amazing Vacation
Of the many vacations we have had over the years, this is one that truly stands out. The location was, of course, amazing. Beautiful water, greenery and a fantastic resort. The thing that truly stands out is the excellent service and attention to detail - everyone from our marine butler Adi to the guys running the motor boat always were willing to go the extra mile with a smile on their face. The food was fantastic - kudos to the restaurant team. The overwater villa was something out of a brochure - completely exceeded my expectations.
Treasure island

The attention to detail in the resort's design and architecture was impeccable, seamlessly blending luxury with the natural wonders of the Maldives. During our stay at Raffles Maldives, we had the pleasure of encountering a team of exceptional individuals who truly made our experience extra special. First impressions are crucial, and it's fantastic that Hussain went above and beyond to ensure a memorable and personalized welcome for us. His attention to detail and effort in making our arrival exceptional certainly set the tone for a remarkable stay. Yasru our Butler showcased unparalleled attentiveness, ensuring that our every need was met throughout our stay, his willingness to help, knowledge, sense of humour and always making sure we were looked after. Puri, the master of espresso Martinis, impressed us not only with her cocktail skills but also with her ever-present smile that added warmth to our evenings. We also had the pleasure of encountering Mohammed Azeen, whose excellent service was accompanied by a delightful sense of humor. He made our dining experiences even more enjoyable. Champok Borua's presence at the morning breakfast table brought a touch of familiarity and personalized service that made each day start on a high note. The boat captains, Naazih and Naashiu, expertly guided us through the surrounding waters and made our excursions memorable. Their knowledge and skills ensured our safety and enjoyment throughout the trips. Asif, another attentive waiter, provided exceptional service, ensuring that we felt pampered and well-cared for during our meals. Lastly, Ibaash Ubaidh's attention to detail and exceptional service made him a standout waiter, further enhancing our dining experiences.

Their contributions truly made a difference and added an extra layer of excellence to our overall experience. Chef Joachim's dedication and creativity brought a unique and delightful culinary experience to our stay. The passion he exudes for his craft must have been evident in the flavors and presentation of the dishes, leaving a lasting impression on your taste buds. Beyond the luxurious amenities, Maldives Raffles Resort offered a myriad of activities and experiences to suit every interest. Whether it was snorkeling in the vibrant coral reefs, embarking on a sunset cruise, or simply lounging by the pool, there was never a dull moment. The resort's commitment to sustainability and environmental conservation was also commendable, ensuring that guests could enjoy the natural wonders of the Maldives responsibly. We truly appreciate the experience of a lifetime that we will certainly not ever forget. All the best, Cristiane D. & Chris Wood
